Sa una, iniisip niya na ito ay basta trabaho lang, isang paraan para matulungan ang pamilya at makaligtas sa mga utang. Ngunit habang lumalalim ang kanilang pakikisalamuha, napapansin ni Althea ang kakaibang init at tensyon sa pagitan nila.

But that's alright because, as I've mentioned, I love him so much that I'm willing to do anything just to earn his love in return.
